Coeur d’Alene, Idaho – OS X El Capitan became just available as public beta. Right in time, DEVONthink and DEVONnote 2.8.6 bring important compatibility changes for it. In addition, DEVONthink 2.8.6 supports images referenced in Markdown documents. When importing Bookends references, DEVONthink imports their keywords too. PDF text annotations created by other applications keep their appearance. They are only restyled as soon as they’re edited with DEVONthink.

For Calendar events dropped into rich text documents both DEVONthink and DEVONnote add a back link, too. Users could already add files and contact cards to RTFs in earlier versions. Also, version 2.8.6 adds a placeholder for the name of the top group that users can place into templates.

DEVONthink 2.8.6 comes with better HTML-to-text conversion, enhanced drag-and-drop support, and workflow improvements. DEVONthink Pro and up also prevent users from creating databases in watched cloud folders. This prevents corruption by file sync software.

Finally, DEVONthink 2.8.6 updates already installed add-ons automatically. The new versions also save license information no longer in the Preferences folder. So-called preferences cleaner applications are prone to accidentally deleting license files.

The updates also bring further internal optimizations that improve their performance and reliability.

“OS X El Capitan is the next major release of Apple’s Mac operating system. And with the public beta it’s already available to all Mac users. DEVONthink and DEVONnote 2.8.6 bring the necessary compatibility changes. And with all the additional usability and workflow enhancements we recommend the new versions to all our users, regardless whether they’re already using OS X El Capitan or not,” comments Eric Bohnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies.
